I expect a short set for the first few shows and then longer shows for arenas/stadiums.

Shortie show I think could be:
1. New Song
2. Hysteria
3. Supermassive Black Hole
4. First Single
5. New Song
6. Time is Running Out
7. Stockholm Syndrome
8. New Piano Song
9. Old Piano Song
10. Old Piano Song
11. New Song
12. Uprising
13. Classic Song
14. Knights of Cydonia

15. Starlight
16. Plug in Baby
17. New Song

And then add 2 or 3 for arenas, and 5 or 6 for stadiums.

This is probably realistic. Much as I'd rather see them play Hyper Music or Showbiz.

But at the end of the day with smaller gigs don't more people get disappointed that they couldn't go.

I don't disagree that they be better but I'd rather go to a big gig that not go to a smaller one.

And? Tough shit for them .

Sick of bands hawking their latest wares at every big venue under the sun at every conceivable opportunity. How about coming up with a quirky or original idea for a tour? That's why the two Teignmouth gigs were so good - they were unique.

I've seen Muse eight times now in last eight years and the two worst by a country mile were the two bog-standard arena gigs - Manchester MEN 2006 and London O2 Arena 2009. Both dull as dishwater compared with Eden Project 2006, Teignmouth 2009 and Reading 2011. Those gigs stick with me because they were special.

Tbh, I rarely go to gigs these days unless there is a very compelling reason to do so. Otherwise, they just become a mulch in my brain, especially if you see the same band over and over again.
